Getting to know Marie Chaney

Hi there, I'm Marie! I work with survivors as a trauma-informed therapist who looks at the whole person: body, heart, mind, and spirit. My focus is on helping you heal your hurt places and find your best self. My focus I specialize in treating survivors! So many of us have endured abuse, trauma, or self-induced addictions. Many of us are haunted by our past or stuck in our current situations. How do we balance our hectic lives emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually? How do we find peace, happiness, and fulfillment? My approach I utilize positive psychology, a strength-based therapy, which focuses on people's existing resources, resilience, and positive qualities in order to use these abilities to improve quality of life and reduce problematic symptoms, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, humanistic therapy, and narrative therapy. My communication style Clients describe me as empathic, easy to talk to, genuine, and a great listener with good insight. The most important part of therapy for me is you feeling comfortable, heard, and understood. My journey to mental healthcare My own experiences have shaped me into a compassionate, caring therapist. From growing up in an alcoholic family to two adult children who are multicultural, & one in a same-sex relationship. I experienced two long-term marriages, and lost two sons; one at birth & an accident took the other. Most recently, I have survived breast cancer. My goals for you I let you set the pace and decide what goals you'd like to work on. This is your therapy, and I'm here to support your vision for healing and growth. Our first session In the first session, I will be asking a lot of questions in order to get to know the person coming for therapy and I let the client know that this is their therapy and I'm open for them to ask me anything they would like so they feel more comfortable in the session.
